We’re back, with another amazing kit. This week, some of the Design House Decorators had Carina Gardner’s Fresh Picked – Autumn line to play with, and I can’t wait to show you what they did with it! So, let’s get right to it!
Layout by Jen Papadimitriou
Jen Papadimitriou says, “The colors in Carina’s Autumn kit are so rich and beautiful I thought they went perfect with my photos! I used a white outline (stroke) feature to the leaves and papers to pop them out on the page. I really loved the patterns in this kit so I layered them in a group like a photo corner. The frames and title complemented the kit as well.” (Credits: Fresh Picked – Autumn by Carina Gardner, Wish Frame Stacks by Karla Dudley, Sweet Fall Embellishments by Robyn Meierotto)
Layout by Tiffany Bodily
Tiffany Bodily says, “I loved the look I was able to achieve by layering the various stamps in this kit. The cluster of leaves created the perfect backdrop for the fall photo I wanted to showcase on my layout. Using the stamps in the way I did draws the viewer’s eyes to the center of the page where I placed the photo. I kept the rest of the embellishments on the page to a minimum so that they would not compete with the photo. The frames and elements were the perfect finishing touches.

Layout by Audrey Neal
Audrey Neal says, “There are times when I’m really aiming for a “paper-scrapped” feel for my digital layouts, and the patterns and elements in Carina’s kit were a perfect choice. I used three different patterned papers for my page foundation, and because the patterns are all various sizes, they don’t compete against each other. Instead, they provide a perfect complement when used in varying amounts (think gallon, quart, pint). The tickets work for journaling and embellishments, and a few leaves provided the finishing touch, along with some hardware from Karla’s Digi Essentials line.

Layout by Allison Waken
Allison Waken wraps us up with this: “I just loved how the papers in this kit were vibrant while still being understated. My goal in a page is for the papers to compliment or draw my eye to the photograph and I think this kit did that perfectly! The leaf stamp added a nice fall element and I love the tickets especially since this page was for a little event at the zoo.

Lovely fall pages, all of them! So, are you ready to have your mind blown?
Really ready?
Instead of just the Autumn Collection, we’re giving away the entire Fresh Picked line to one lucky commenter.
That’s a $40 value, folks! And, to make it super easy on you, all you have to do for your chance to win is answer here, and tell me which of the four seasons is your favorite: Spring, summer, autumn, or winter. Super simple, and super value. Also, don’t forget to stop by Carina’s shop this weekend, because she’s leaving The House. All of her kits are 50% off, but when she’s gone, they’re gone!
(Big congrats to Tammy, the winner of last week’s kit. I’m ever-so-happy you commented, in the nick of time!)
While I certainly love our 1 Kit, 4 Ways feature every week, I’m especially enamored of it when it’s a 1 Kit, Many Ways, because often, that means I’m introducing a new designer to The House. Today is no exception, and I’m happy to give you your first sneak peak of Celeste Knight, with her Homespun Holiday kit:
Here are the kits I used:
